How long will we stay home?

This goes into effect on Thursday, March 19, 2020. The order is in place until further notice.

Essential services will remain open such as:

Food: Grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery restaurants

Essential state and local government functions will also remain open, including law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.

This is in effect throughout the State of California.

Does someone know of an official state source like on ca.gov what mentions walking outside? For example, from SF, this mentions walking outside (and is considered an essential activity in their longer executive order.) https://sf.gov/stay-home-except-essential-needs
